#Leftist antisemitism

[jewelleria]

“But there are nuances to sadistic barbarity against Jews, we are told, and sometimes gang-raping Jewish women is actually a movement for human rights. It hardly seems fair to call people anti-Semitic if they want only half of the world’s Jews to die. The phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” currently chanted at universities across America, perhaps widens the net a tiny bit—but really, who can say? Even the phrase “Gas the Jews,” chanted at a rally organized by NYU students and faculty, is so very ambiguous. How dare those whiny Jews presume to know what’s in other people’s hearts? It remains unclear why anti-Semitism should matter only when it is lethal, or if so, how many unambiguously anti-Semitic murders would be necessary for anti-Semitism to be happening outside whiny Jews’ heads. A realistic estimate might be 6 million. Even then, Jews have had to spend the past 80 years collecting documentation to prove it.”

I'm an anti-Zionist J*w and I'm here to tell you that anti-Semitism doesn't exist. I wear J*w symbols all the time and have never received any anti-Semitism whatsoever at all ever. Actually it's Palestinians who are attacked with anti-Semitism because they're the real Semites. The only anti-Semites are Zionists who use false sneaky anti-Semitism accusations to manipulate the media, and the government, and the world into thinking they're victims. And also neo-Nazis! They're anti-Semitic and super super bad and punch a Nazi everyone!!! I hate fascists. Anyways Zionists keep crying about their synagogues being set on fire or whatever, and like. being murdered or something, but it's all a distraction campaign! Don't listen to it!! Stop talking about anti-Semitism!!!!! Long live the resistance!!!

happyfandomaccount: Wow, thank you so much for posting this. I'm not Jewish, but I have always stood against all racism and anti-Semitism. And that includes standing against Jews who pretend anti-Semitism exists <3

hey guys. i'm really scared. Synagogues near me have been receiving bomb threats, my friends have been assaulted and told they deserved to be raped, and I'm getting dozens of messages telling me to go back to Auschwitz. Here are 200 comprehensive links of separate cases of Jews being violently attacked or worse in the past few months, just for being Jewish. This is real, and exists, and Jewish people are really terrified right now. I don't know what to do anymore.

like? i actually do think antizionism — where zionism is defined as believing that israel should exist and is the ancestral homeland of the jewish people — is fundamentally antisemitic but i don’t think there’s any point in telling western leftists that because western leftists have demonstrated that they do not, in fact, give a shit about antisemitism as long as they have a handful of jewish people to tokenize who are ok with their antizionism

the Colombia students held staff hostage

a maintenance worker exited the building at 12:40 a.m. after yelling to be released, telling the crowd as he left that he had been “held hostage” inside. 

like in what universe am I supposed to take them seriously as "peace" activists when they held people hostage.

it doesn't matter for how long or short it was. what matters is that they held people hostage.

that is criminal. that is not peaceful. that is not advocating.

I read the article then forgot to reply.

yeah, everything about this is just fucked up.

[lostthenfoundmyself]

You do realize that breaking into and occupying an administrative building while destroying property and wearing costumes is exactly what the rioters did on the January 6th attempted insurrection, right? Naming specific governing officers they hate, saying they “can’t hide,” claiming they’re justified because they’re the good guys fighting against the evil people in power.

The January 6th rioters were crazy because what they did was crazy. Not just because they thought Trump won the election.

I get that it’s university government buildings rather than US government buildings, but it’s a really, really clear echo. These protestors are not better just because you think they’re right.

One guy in class, sounding so excited: “I’m gonna get hurt a the strike, next week! They’re gonna call the SWAT team, they’re gonna beat me! I’m doing this for Palestine!”

The rest of class: …*the most nervous laughter you’ve ever heard in your life*

This was genuinely the most baffled I’ve been around a “pro-Palestine” person. Do you care about the lives of civilians, or are you… like, a masochist who’s exploring that in the worst possible way?

That is really bizarre

[a-very-tired-jew]

They let X happen, why are they doing Y?!

So this is an argument I see in some form in Leftist spaces regarding the response of college campuses to protestors in recent days. Often it's used as "Sure, they'll let neo-Nazis on campus with no problem, but the moment we have a peaceful protest they call the cops." Except here's the problem. It's not a peaceful protest. It's also not a one time thing like the neo-Nazis. Every campus I have ever worked at or attended has had neo-Nazis show up and march around. They were booed and counter-protested. They stood there grinning with their slogans, took their pictures, and then went on their way to post on the internet about how they "owned the libs". Neo-Nazis do not have a prolonged presence on campus and they do not protest weekly for 6 months straight at campuses across the country. Sometimes there's altercations and violence, and sometimes there's not. Usually it makes the news in some capacity and that's it. Compare this to the Western Activists who have been protesting since October. Many campuses have seen weekly, if not daily, protests where protestors have held signs supporting terrorist groups, justified the actions of 10/7, chanted antisemitic rhetoric, and engaged in a whole host of concerning activities that have continued to escalate in some way. This escalation has culminated in different ways across these campuses but has resulted in Jewish students being attacked, Jewish dorms and student centers being defaced, bomb threats, attempted arson, stabbings, and so on... All of which has now led to these same groups, whose members have committed the aforementioned actions in some capacity, to established encampments on their college campuses. Think about that. Your peaceful protests are more violent that neo-Nazis showing up to college campuses. That's why the police have been deployed. You can delude yourselves all you want, but there are clear incidents over the course of these 6 months that show why this is happening, and you have no one to blame but yourselves. We have told you since the beginning that you need to address the antisemitism and radicalization present in your movement, but instead you ignored Jews and claimed Zionists were using claims of antisemitism as a "weapon to silence criticism of Israel". Well, it turns out we were right and your movement is now regarded as a violently antisemitic one by the authorities. Instead of accepting this and correcting it, you have continued to blame Jews Zionists. I would not be surprised if we see this escalate further into violent protests with things like cocktails being thrown, and even then I know you will blame the Jews Zionists for your own actions. Take a step back, breath, and think. Your peaceful protests are more violent than neo-Nazi protests. A Jew should not be saying this. A Jew should not be going "hey, those neo-Nazis? Actually less violent than what's going on right now." It should not take a Jew to point out the sheer ridiculousness of this entire situation. That should be a red flag that something is very, very wrong.

Oh look, an antisemite claiming that a blog made to allow Jewish people to express their feelings is committing/supporting genocide.

Even though it states in that blog's rules that ANY Jewish person is welcome to submit (yes, that includes Zionists, Non-Zionists, Anti-Zionists, or any other political label). It also clearly states that "calling for the harm of another group or individual" is not allowed and will result in the asker being blocked.

If seeing Jewish people express their emotions and supporting each other as a community is so uncomfortable to you, FUCKING COPE WITH IT AND GO FUCK YOURSELF.

At the end of the day, we're helping actual real people deal with their worries and difficult emotions. You're insulting people and trying to make them feel worse. So who is really pathetic here?

[slyandthefamilybook]

Once there was a boy who was a shepherd. He kept watch over a small flock of sheep in a pasture at the edge of town. He loved his sheep. He had been born to a shepherd from a family of shepherds, and had so grown up amongst his flock. He knew all of the sheep by name and would great them one-by-one each morning. "Hello Dolly," he would say. "Hello Steven and hello Betty."

Now these sheep were undoubtedly useful: the townspeople would eat their meat and weave their wool and gnaw on their bones as they worked the fields. But these sheep were also alive. They had a glittering intelligence in their black eyes, and they would commune every so often to discuss the harvest, and the shepherd boy, and the townspeople. The sheep loved the shepherd boy and they loved the town and the townspeople, and the people loved them back. They were good sheep.

Now one day the shepherd boy overheard one of the townspeople talking about his flock. The man said he thought the sheep were ugly, and that they smelled bad. This upset the shepherd boy, because he loved his sheep, and he thought the people loved his sheep as well. The shepherd boy, being no more than 12 years old at the time, wanted to remind the people of how much his sheep mattered to them. So one night as the moon hid behind the clouds the shepherd boy stood on a stone in his pasture and cried out: "Help! Help! A wolf!"

Out came a crowd of people, blinking the sleep from their eyes and carrying torches and pitchforks and shovels and ladels. They stood in the pasture and looked about, but they could see no wolf. The townspeople became angry and shook their fists at the shepherd boy. "This is a serious matter!" they cried. The shepherd boy had to admit that his ploy was juvenile, but he was still a child, and so the people forgave him. And they continued to love the shepherd boy and his sheep, and the shepherd boy and his sheep loved them back, for the townspeople had proved that night how much they cared.

Five years later, when the shepherd boy was now a teen, he stood amongst his flock in the pasture and he said "good night, Dolly. Good night, Steven and good night, Betty." But as the clouds passed over the moon the shepherd teen saw a shape in the distance, and out of fear for his flock he cried out: "Help! Help! A wolf!"

Again came the great crashing crowd with their knives and their swords and axes and bows. They stood in the pasture and looked about, but they could see no wolf. The townspeople once again became angry, and they shook their fists at the shepherd teen. "This is a serious matter!" they cried. "We love you and we love your sheep, but you must learn to not be so frightened!" With great grumbling the townspeople returned to their homes, and the shepherd teen sensed that something had changed.

Five more years passed, and the shepherd teen was now a shepherd. He still passed through his flock every morning and said, "Good morning, Dolly. Good morning, Steven and good morning, Betty." And the sheep loved the shepherd and he loved them. But in his age he had grown cautious. The shepherd had learned from the townspeople that perhaps the wolves were not so great a threat as he had thought. And so at night when he would see their red eyes prowling at the edges of his pasture, he would stay silent and wait.

One night, as the clouds began to cover the moon, a wolf appeared. The wolf approached Dolly the sheep and snarled, its lips wet. "Away!" cried the shepherd. "Away with you!" But the wolf showed its fangs and said, "I want your sheep." "Why?" cried the boy. "Why must you take my sheep? You have your food in the forest!" But the wolf laughed. "I want your sheep because I am a wolf and they are sheep. That is how it is done." And the wolf parted its terrible jaws and snatched up Dolly the sheep and dragged her into the deep woods. And the shepherd remained silent.

The next night two wolves appeared, their eyes red and their tongues hungry. The wolves approached Steven the sheep who was with his family. "Away with you!" cried the shepherd. "Why do you hate my sheep so?" The wolves cackled and said with the same voice, "we hate your sheep because it is the thing for sheep to be hated. All wolves hate sheep, and they cannot all be wrong. Even the birds and rabbits of the forest will come around." And the wolves each took a leg from Steven the sheep and hauled him into the dark woods. And still the shepherd held his tongue.

The next night as the moon was new the shepherd saw a sea of red eyes at the edge of the forest. The wolves marched toward his sheep, their heads held high. And the shepherd saw that indeed the birds and rabbits of the forest were among them, their eyes bleeding and their teeth sharp. They approached Betty the sheep who cried out in terror. The shepherd stood on a rock in his pasture and called out with a loud voice: "Help! Help! The wolves have come, and all the birds and rabbits of the forest!"

But this time no one came. You see, although the boy had cried wolf before, his fear was now justified. But the townspeople had grown tired of him. Every time the flock was threatened they felt compelled to act, and that compulsion drained them. And they no longer liked the shepherd. He had spent too much time with his sheep, and they had begun to see that same glittering black intelligence in his eyes. Sheep are frightened of everything and cannot be expected to know when they are truly in danger.

What had the shepherd done for them? He kept his sheep mostly to himself these days. Perhaps the shepherd was the one really in control, and he had used his cries of wolf to bend the townspeople to his will. Anyone whose flock was threatened that often must be doing something wrong.

And what was this about the birds and rabbits of the forest? They were peaceful! They could never be convinced to join with those who preyed upon them. Flocks of sheep are old and backwards and they are a drain on the town, the people thought. If the birds and rabbits hate the sheep they must have good reason to do so.

Again the shepherd called out, but the townspeople rolled over in their beds and stuffed their ears with sheep's wool. The shepherd's cries of wolf had made them feel guilty, and so they had found reasons for why they did not have to listen. And besides, the townspeople thought as they pulled their wolf skins over their heads and their eyes glowed red, the sheep really were delicious...

#atlas entry #I wrote and re-wrote this post 5 times bc i couldn't figure out how to say what I was thinking. so I decided to do what I do best and write #the story of the boy who cried wolf has always bothered me because like. yeah he shouldn't have cried wolf but also if the townspeople #actually cared about the flock they would come no matter what. instead they convince themselves that they don't have to care #anyways this post is about #antisemitism #and in particular #leftist antisemitism #jew #jewish #judaism #jumblr

I’m not even Jewish or Israeli, and I used to be anti Israel until August 2023, where I finally educated myself about the conflict. Now because of the protests, and rampant antisemitism in general and literally gaslighting from all sides of political spectrum I feel like I’m going crazy. I use to be a hardcore leftie, even jokingly calling myself a tankie. I believed most lefties would change their minds when learning the truth or at least study what they’re supporting. I was beyond shocked to read about Jews being kicked out of Arab countries, the Nazi Palestinian Mufti who met with Hitler, and the Palestinian leaders constant rejection of a two state solution. I can’t go back to my old leftie group chats because they’re all pro Hamas anti “Israeli” (aka Jewish). It baffles me how people I thought were smart can be like this. I didn’t know, I never studied about Israel-Palestine, just followed the left’s narrative on it. That’s bad on me. But many of these people are much older, more educated seemingly. And it isn’t too hard to find this info. I’m sorry for ranting, I’m not sure where I’m going with this. I feel selfish for mourning my loss and comfort within the left but I can’t keep supporting it. I’m not sure how to move on.

Welcome to the club.

I thought naively after Hamas attacks that the reaction from the left would have been disappointment towards the Palestinian side because I remember well when Israel withdrew from Gaza and how it was seen as a huge victory since now the Palestinian state could finally become reality. Well, instead, the Palestinian leadership concentrated on brainwashing their population to hate Jews and preparing another useless war against Israel. You could assume people advocating for the Palestinian side would have been a bit fed up and disappointed after Hamas attacks, but noooo. It was still somehow justified and obviously Israel's fault. Let's continue screaming: "Palestine is under occupation" like it isn't just a catchy way to say Israel should not exist. And let's send death, r*pe, and suicide wishes to anyone who enquires if any of "free Palestine" fanatics can even place those countries on the map.

Sometime ago, I expressed my disappointment with the left to my mother, who is also a leftie but not crazy one, and she told me she got upset when after 9/11 some of our leftie politicians said that American civilians somehow deserved what happened to them and had themselves to blame. And in the 70s, lefties on university campuses proudly carried around Mao's Little Red Book despite his political purges and starving his own people to death for ideology.

The left has always had an extremism problem just as much as the right has. You just don't notice it until you are in the middle.

I think there should be more protests

love how every time i or someone else makes a post about antisemitism — any antisemitism at all but especially leftist antisemitism and particularly anything about these protests — this is the typical response, along with:

“stop spreading lies, there’s no antisemitism”

“b-b-but we have a jewish person here who’s cool with everything we’re doing/saying”

“ok zionist”

like? can leftists stop pretending y’all are any better than the right about antisemitism? can y’all stop pretending you care about people tokenizing minorities when you’ll tokenize jews to fit your own agenda? can y’all stop pretending you haven’t been gaslighting jewish people for months (years) about the alarming global rise in antisemitism?
